Materials and Directions for Yarn Ornaments

Alright, let's talk about what you'll need to make these yarn ornaments and then go over some of the finer details!

• printer and paper
• pencil or pen
• foam
• pins
• yarn
• scissors
• white glue
• bowl
• parchment paper or plastic wrap (optional)
• tape (optional)

1. Trace design onto foam, or cut out design and tape paper to foam.

Any kind of flat foam that holds pins in place will do. You could use EVA crafting foam, styrofoam packaging, or even food containers. Cardboard boxes might work, too!

2. (Optional) Tape parchment paper or plastic wrap over foam/design to help ornament release.

Covering the foam and design with parchment paper or plastic wrap will help the ornament release after the glue is dry. If you've traced the design onto foam that doesn't stick to white glue, then you can skip this step.

3. Stick pins in foam, using dots as a guide.

We recommend pins with round heads because they won't snag on the yarn as easily.

4. Cut yarn into segments of 12-18 inches.

We've found that 12-18" (30-45 cm) segments of yarn work best. They're short enough to dip and coat in glue, but long enough to hold a shape on the pins.

5. Dip yarn into glue.

If you're okay with getting messy, use your hands and make sure the yarn gets coated in glue. Or you could use a fork to stir the yarn around, and then run the yarn between the tines to squeeze off any excess glue, as we did here.

6. Wrap yarn around pins.

Make sure to wrap yarn around the entire outside of the design, but also run it back and forth through the middle, too. You don't need to completely fill the inside!

7. Let glue dry, then remove pins to release ornament.

White glue will set in about 30 minutes but it takes a full day to dry. After the ornament is completely dry, carefully remove the pins. If any part moves out of place, apply a small amount of white glue and set the ornament aside to fully dry.
